can't get pregnant with number 2

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago. I started metformin 500 mg 2 times a day. That helped my periods become very regular and I got pregnant, pretty much right away. (2nd month of trying). Now my little boy is almost 2. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 9 months. I've been taking my metformin but my periods are sometimes irregular. I am pretty sure Im ovulating. I am at a loss as far as what to do now? Is it possible that I need a higher dosage of metformin? I have heard that you should wait a year before seeking assistance with conception... I got pregnant so easily the first time around!

What should my next step be?

Check with Dr. But you can monitor yourself if you want 1st. Then maybe when you go to Dr you'll have dome proof you need help right away.  Chart your temps, (cheap easy to do) plus lots of websites online if you wanna do it that way (*******************).....Use ovulation kit to see if, when you ovulating. Relax, have fun. That's my best advice. When you quit "trying" so hard the unexpected happens.  Good luck.

Are you really sure your ovulating or are you guessing? I am in the same situation as you are but I am not ovulating. I am taking clomid which could work for you. You should talk to your dr and see what you can do. Cuz you have pcos they might not make you wait a whole year. Good luck!
